Renault unveils New Logan for Russia

Renault today released photos and the first details of the New Logan which will go on sale in Russia in the second quarter of this year. The family sedan, which is fully adapted to local conditions, is being produced at the Renault-Nissan and AVTOVAZ jointly-owned facility in Togliatti in Russia’s Samara region.

The Togliatti facility, which will have a manufacturing capacity of 350,000 units per year at full ramp-up, will soon become home to one of the largest platform-sharing programs in the Renault-Nissan Alliance. The facility already produces the LADA Largus multi-purpose van and the Nissan Almera sedan. Later this year, another Renault model, as well as the first Datsun model for Russia, will be produced at the facility.

The Alliance has a majority stake in Alliance Rostec Auto BV, a joint venture that owns AVTOVAZ, Russia’s largest automaker.
